To make multiple commands in 1 quicktext you have to proceed the next commands with #...

If you hoover your mouse over the quicktext-box a tooltip will popup saying that:

quote:
from Messenger Plus itself
If you want to specify more than one message or command, start new lines with the # character. Up to 20 actions can be specified, each one will be executed at a 0.5 second interval. Advanced users can even enter a different delay for each action. After the first #, just put a digit between 1 and 9 and another #.

Also, you can find that in the official tutorials and FAQ on www.msgplus.net.

quicktext:
/appearoffline
#/online
alias: /ame

Anyways... so you need to add # in front of the next commands, but you can also add a "time-delay" for when the command should be executed:

quicktext:
/appearoffline
#1#/online
alias: /ame


EDIT: blah, I've forgotten the fact that Choli mentioned, you can't execute anything after you've been set to "offline"... So this particular thing you want to do doesn't work.

hi, and welcome to the forums :wave:

you can't do it because as soon as yoou change your status to appear offilne you can't send any message and so you can't send the /online command to return to online status.

However, if what you want to do is show a popup in your contacts screenm you may try Hopper...let's Hop! (2.40.168: Si compounded - not Basic anymore!)

if you want to chain 2 messages (in this case 2 commands), put a # at the begining of each line from the 2nd one: ie

/appearoffline
#/online



edit:

Cookie was faster, but notice that

/appearoffline
#/online

won't work. It's just an example on how to chain 2 or more commands
